Dear Manitou Owner,
You have likely spent a great deal of time researching your many choices
in the boating market, and so we are especially honored by your
selection. Because our boats are unequaled in both quality and style, you,
like many other boaters, have chosen Manitou, and we would like to
thank you for that choice.
In order to lengthen the life of your boat, proper use and care are
required. Please take the time to review the information provided in this
manual and in the accompanying National Marine Manufacturers
Association (NMMA) Pontoon/Deck Style Boats Owner’s Manual. You
will find operating, cleaning, and maintenance tips, as well as guidance
on boating safety and water rules. This information is vital to your own
safety and that of your passengers. Please read it carefully.
At Manitou we take pride in building the safest pontoon boats in the
industry. Please take the time to notice your boat’s extra safety features.
You will agree that your family’s carefree boating experience is our top
priority. You bought a pontoon boat for family fun, and Manitou’s
quality will give you the peace of mind to relax and enjoy your time
spent boating for years to come.
Shortly after your warranty registration is received by the factory, you
will receive a Manitou customer satisfaction survey. We want to hear
from you! If you do not receive this survey, please contact Manitou at
